VNOP & CAS Research Days are two interesting and enjoyable days for researchers within the field of developmental psychology or pedagogics. The Research Days are organized annually by members of VNOP and CAS. These days provide a unique opportunity particularly for young researchers to develop themselves and to present their work.

The first day is organized especially for PhD candidates and postdoc researchers. On this day, they join interesting in-depth workshops aimed to help individual development as a researcher.

The second day, a conference is organized for all researchers within the field of developmental psychology or pedagogics, where staff members and senior researchers also join while junior researchers (PhD candidates and postdoc researchers) present and discuss their research.
